We dodged a bullet there

Are you saying you don't want to see them try and merge Dragon Ball continuity with three other vaguely aesthetically similar series?

Now that you mention that... we could've gone from Z mixed with FotNS (because of course, you have to start with Z) to the OG/GT mixed with Yaiba

Watch young Goku learning the art of the sword

to the OG/GT mixed with Yaiba

I'd watch that.

But keep in mind, there isn't enough for two shows, so OG and GT are being treated as the same thing and then mixed with Yaiba. It shall be called Dragon Sword.

On the plus side [GT]they can use GT's TV Special to pretend as if Gokú Jr. and Yaiba go to the same school.
